Best Practices of Using Land and Water Resources in Khiva Khanate and its Ecological Significance
Keywords:
Ecological condition, land-water resources, natural resourcesAbstract
The article analyzes the advanced historical experiences of land and water resources use in the Khiva Khanate and their ecological significance for today. In it, the authors highlight the rational use of natural resources, artificial irrigation systems, and traditional farming methods in the Khorezm oasis. In the Khiva Khanate, the population mainly used natural humus as fertilizer, along with the mineral-rich silt of the Amu Darya River. These methods had a positive effect on the ecology and helped develop agriculture in harmony with the natural environment. Plants such as saxaul were used in the region to stop sand drifts, and they knew how to use natural drainage methods to lower groundwater, which served to reduce soil salinity. Based on the information presented in the article, it is noted that the experience of the population of the Khiva Khanate in the rational use of land and water resources, even the targeted use of flood waters of the Amu Darya, water conservation and preservation of soil fertility are still relevant for the present. At the same time, the article emphasizes the importance of these experiences in the development of modern approaches in the field of ecology and agriculture. This study demonstrates that the rich knowledge and traditional methods accumulated in the past are still relevant for the present.
